The best part is, there are no huge power cuts in both the states and that is considered as a major relief to the people, who chose not to come out during the day time and stay back in the home under the cool machines. 

Experts say that, the monsoon may hit after May 31st and then a proper relief from the heavy heat can be found. But till then, the people are advised to stay away from the sun, consume plenty of fluids and thus get a partial relief.
